Patent EP-0896135-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FRANCIS PAUL DAVID
IPC: F01N3/28
Filed: 1997-08-15
Abstract: A profiled knitted metal mesh wire ring interposed between the end of tile fixed
metal cone and the nearest face of the ceramic monolithic block containing the
catalytic reagents, of such a shape and configuration that it serves to hold the
said metal cone and monolithic block in correct axial alignment. 
     This correct axial alignment ensures the optimum flow of the hot engine
exhaust gases from the metal cone into the monolithic block such that the
required catalytic reactions may occur. 
     The flexible construction of the knitted metal mesh wire ring permits the
thermal expansion of the fixed metal cone linearly towards the face of the
ceramic block to be compensated for without permitting the two components to
make contact and cause damage one to the other.

Patent EP-0848279-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GASS PAUL ANTONY
IPC: G02F1/139
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: A mixture of a ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric liquid crystal material and a
monomer having a single photopolymeric functional group is injected in the space
between two electrode substrates while heat is applied. After cooling of the mixture it
is irradiated with ultraviolet light at a temperature at which the liquid crystal material
remains in the smectic phase so as to polymerise the monomer. Areas of liquid crystal
material requiring different threshold voltages for switching are thereby produced.
Alternatively such areas can be produced by changing the conditions applied to a
mixture of liquid crystal material with a suitable dopant so as to cause separation of the
dopant out of the liquid crystal material in order to provide a polarity of nucleation
points for controlling domain formation within the liquid crystal material. Such
control of domain formation can be used to provide greyscale in a liquid crystal
device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for key recovery cryptography to be used in a
system consisting of:
     two conversation partners who exchange secret information in encrypted
form with each other by way of the public telecommunications infrastructure;   one or more legitimate co-listeners possibly present (for example,a
govemment agency, or an employer of the conversation partners), who do
have the enciphered information at their disposal, but are not able to
decipher it;   one or more trusted parties (known as Trusted Recovery Parties - TRPs) in
principle different from the conversation partners, who act as virtual
conversation partners, who can decipher the information, but do not have
the enciphered information at their disposal;   ne or more monitors possibly present for monitoring the exchange between
the conversation partners (for example, one of the conversation partners, a
PTT or an employer of the conversation partners),   
in which the conversation partners as part of the exchange also make the same
secret information available to the abovementioned co-listener if the latter
acquires cooperation (simultaneously, or with some delay) from one of the TRPs
(or several in the event of splitting or sharing techniques being used), in the
process the conversation partners also send additional information at the same
time, known as binding data, by means of which the monitor can check that said
making of information available can also be carried out properly, without the
monitor having to have at his disposal secret information. Characteristic of the
method is that it relates to an exchange in which the secret information is
encrypted with the asymmetrical systems RSA, Rabin or Diffie-Hellman or a
combination thereof.
